Darius Slayton Week 13 Outlook - Commanders at Giants

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 1st 2022, 1:05pm EST

Since Week 7, Slayton has a 21.8% target share averaging 73.6 receiving yards with four games as a WR3 or better (WR19, WR36, WR15, WR21). Across his last five games, he's ranked 18th in PFF receiving grade and 13th in yards per route (minimum 15 targets). Slayton's issues have nothing to do with talent or production when he's gotten opportunities. They revolve around the Giants' need to run the ball, limiting his target volume, and the fact that he has zero red zone targets since Week 7. Slayton's touchdown equity in this offense is nil. Unless he breaks off a long play and takes it to the house, he probably isn't scoring. This renders Slayton a WR3 that will run about 65% of his routes against Kendall Fuller (58.6% catch rate, 90.8 passer rating) and seventh-round rookie Christian Holmes (both targets in coverage secured).
